i was looking at a wood tank but heard they are no good once you move them.
it was a 300 gallon for $500
looked like future problems so i passed.
you will get all kinds of advice on lighting.
i would just get 2 250 watt mh for it.

thnx. did alot of research before starting the build. it is 3/4 plywood glued and screwed. 1 coat autoboby filler for a base, 6 coats of fiberglass resin and 5 coats of marine epoxy. i wanted to make sure it never leaked. now time to start getting the rest of the supplies for the tank mainly the lights. I want to be able to penetrate as deep as possible. i figure about 2 or 3 months before i have anything into it. trying to do it right and take my time.
